AYLI DT - RIBBON OR LACE

It's time for another challenge at As You Like It and this fortnight's theme is to showcase a project using your favourite, either ribbon or lace (and don't forget to say why it's your favourite).

I have used both on my card, but I do love lace more as I think it makes a card look a bit extra special and gives it more texture. I must admit though that there isn't always a place for lace and only ribbon will do.

This is a stamp from Saturated Canary called Crafty Cat, which I have coloured with copics and I've also added glossy accents to the glasses. The lace is a narrow lace which I have placed back to back and put a pearl string in the centre. I have added cheesecloth under the image which is cut out with a Little Darlings Fancy Squares die, added flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and the sentiment tags from LOTV are stamped with silver metallic ink. I've also stitched around all the layers on my machine, but that's not very clear on the photo, and added a few pearls here and there.

About Me

I live with my lovely hubby and two little Cavaliers. I have gone through various craft phases over the years including dressmaking, embroidery and cross stitch, but have only been making cards since 2015 and have been addicted ever since!
